Play Star Citizen For Free Until The End Of The Month

Whether they're just feeling generous or slightly nervous over the single-player delay, the folks behind the hefty space simulator Star Citizen have flicked the switch on what can only be described as a 'Free Week' event.

Similar to how Steam titles put themselves up for a Free Weekend - essentially letting anyone play a set amount of the game's modes over the course of the weekend - Star Citizen has unlocked its gameplay for all to see until the end of the month.

Described as "the closest to the Military load-out as is legally possible for a Civilian model,", everyone who takes them up on the offer will gain themselves a F7C-M Super Hornet spaceship over the week-long period. There's even a passenger seat for some co-op dogfighting.

Looking to get involved? Just fly on over to the Star Citizen promotions page and get ready to slam in "FALL2016" as a promo code. It's like buying something from a TV infomercial.

It's a little longer than the free weekend they offered after Gamescom last year. Better make the most of it.

All the latest news and videos regarding technology and so on has been looking fantastic. I've no doubts at all about this game being something I will "live" in when it's out. I'm a sucker for social gaming too, just doing things multicrew is really something I'm looking forward to a lot. We are a bunch of friends already set to go with a variety of ships for different roles. Together we can serve any role, whatever we may feel like that particular day.

Yea but you wouldn't do that with a bad product would you, some companies have review embargoes while SC does things the opposite way. They could be working a bit faster though, I get nothing from them getting sleep every day or having a private life :).
